Car downshifted at higher rate of speed causing engine to rev and transmission grind. Speedometer went out wheels locked. Felt like I got hit from behind

Power steering failure. On two separate occasions the power steering pulled the steering wheel out of my hands while making a right hand turn. I was lucky that in both occurrences that there was nothing in the other lane or there would have been an accident. This should be a huge safety concern for Ford but I seriously doubt they even care.

Have had the vacuum pump replaced twice and it’s dead again causing brake failure, the timing chain stretch already cost me one engine and now a year later the chain has stretched again on the new motor not very happy about that and passenger air bag turns on and off randomly with no codes only a warning again for no reason.

While I was driving home from work in my 2011 Ford F-150 on the highway. I was passing a semi when my transmission suddenly downshifted very hard locking up the wheels for a second. Which caused my truck to almost come to a complete stop in the left lane of the highway. The truck behind me almost rearended my truck and it caused my truck to jar to the right in front of the semi truck. I was able to avoid colliding with the semi truck and bring my truck to a stop on the right shoulder of the highway. Then when I tried checking to see if the truck would still move by moving the shifter through the gears. No matter what gear I put it in it would not move so I had to have it towed home where it is still sitting. I have tried to move it since then but it still will not go into any gear. I called Ford to see if my truck was part of the transmission recall and to tell them what had happened. I was told my truck was not part of the recall and there was nothing they could do. The truck still sits in the driveway while I try to save enough money to get the transmission replaced. I have had multiple safety issues with this truck the first one was that it would not move when you tried to take off. Then while on my way to work the truck shutdown on the highway and had to coast off the highway. Then it would not restart so had it towed to the dealership which told me the timing chains went bad and I needed a new motor. I put $11,000 into getting it fixed after only having it for a year. Then not even a year later the incident with the transmission happened. If either of these two issues would have happened to someone with less experience things could have turned out a lot worse which is what I want to prevent from happening. My Wife and kids would drive this truck around as well and I hate to think what could have happened had she been out alone with our children. Please look into this I know that the 3.5 liter Eco-Boost engines have had prior issues along with the 6R80 Trans.
